Troppo forte (1986) as Oscar's neighboor

In the TV mini-series Little Roma (1987) as Roman woman

[Emiliano]

Anna, quel particolare piacere (1973) as Nun at hospital

[Johan Melle]

I'm not familiar with this woman but maybe this is her in the TV mini series Quer pasticciaccio brutto de via Merulana (1983) as Tenant in the apartment building?

[Ciavazzaro]

I think she is !
I have also a ton of roles for her, i will upload them in the next days.

[Johan Melle]

I'm pretty sure Giovanna plays the mother of Romeo (Franco Castellano) in the TV series Commesse (1999). She's present in two episodes:

First a very short appearance in episode 2: "Roberta"

Then a much larger role in episode 5: "Romeo"

Unfortunately, she was uncredited in both episodes, which is very unfair!
